Looking for a breath of iodine? Renting a bike in Plougonvelin means riding to the rhythm of the tides between moorland, granite and the changing light of the Iroise. From the Trez-Hir beach, the road gently undulates along the coast. In a few turns of the wheel, the silhouette of Pointe Saint-Mathieu appears: abbey ruins, red and white lighthouse, deep sea roaring at the foot of the cliffs. We put the bike down and listen. Then off again, with the wind at your back, towards the Fort de Bertheaume for a spectacular view of the islets.

The small roads of the Pays d'Iroise are ideal for a serene ride: bocage, discreet chapels, fields hemmed in by embankments. The Vélomaritime (EV4) skims the area and offers rolling segments; roads and shared lanes are preferred to preserve dunes and coastal paths, reserved for pedestrians. For families, the Trez-Hir promenade is perfect for an easy round trip, with an ice cream break or picnic with your feet in the sand. Looking for a little more? Head for Le Conquet, a lively port, before skirting the beaches with their turquoise waters.
